    Akṣapaṭalika (EI 30; CII 4; HD; BL), same as

    Akṣapaṭal-ādhipati, officer in charge of accounts and records.

    Akṣapaṭala means ‘accounts office’ (Stein) or ‘records office’

    (Bühler). There is Grām-ākṣapaṭalika in the Harṣacarita (VII, para.

    2) probably meaning the Paṭvārī, and a section on the superin-

    tendent of the akṣapaṭala in the Arthaśāstra (II. 7). See Ep.

    Ind., Vol. XX, p. 128; Vol. IX, p. 305. Cf. Mahākṣapaṭalika.
